How to arrange living room furniture in a small room does not necessarily have to be a challenging task. No doubt, you spend quite a lot of time the living room, welcome your guest in there, or simply enjoy a day off with your family, which is the room should be fully functional. On the whole, just a little bit of creativity while shopping for and arranging living room furniture  can help make the most out of your available space. Here are just some of the easiest, most functional tips on how to arrange living room furniture:

Find use for your corners

Corner furniture, whether a display cabinet or a TV stand , has greater storage capacity than rectangular storage units. Moreover, shifting your furniture to the corners creates more space in the middle of the room, which makes it seem a little larger.

Build in some storage under the windowsill

Another way to optimise your room storage capacity and get rid of the furniture that clutters the living room is to have built in storage under the windowsill. Moreover, a soft cushion on the windowsill will add an extra seat into the room, helping you to downsize on soft furniture.

Forget about the sofa

On the whole, downsizing on soft furniture is a nice idea. In a small living room, you might want to forget about the sofa and go with a couple of recliners or an ottoman instead. Or, at least, look for a very compact sofa with no more than two or three seats.

Keep every piece compact

Note that not only the sofa, but all furniture in general should ideally be as compact as possible.

Aim higher

Furnishing a room with floor to ceiling  storage units is very nice idea for a small living room. Alternatively, you can arrange floor to ceiling shelves, using an L-shaped pattern. Shelves will look even more compact than cabinets, offering a nice place to store your suff and requiring minimal physical space.

Go for multiple furniture functionality

Another idea that might help to arrange living room furniture in the most efficient manner is to go with units that have multiple functionality. Sofas, ottomans and coffee tables can have built-in hidden storage. A coffee table can also be converted into a computer or a dining table.

Give a try to a transparent piece

Speaking of coffee tables, a transparent ABS model is something you might want to try out. Almost invisible in a room, it will make the interior clutter free. Clear glass is another possible alternative.

Create visual illusions

Wall design is one of the most important things that can help you create visual illusions. One brighter wall among white ones will make the room look deeper; vertical ornament can visually add height, while horizontal — space.

Experiment with shelves

A creative arrangement of shelves makes it possible to fully downsize on storage cabinets. And, of course, shelves require less space.

Include live plants into the picture

Finally, a couple of live plants can make the room not only more cheerful, but also visually deeper.
